ABSTRACT
Bend gestures have a large number of degrees of freedom and therefore offer a rich interaction language. We propose a classification scheme for bend gestures, and explore how users perform these bend gestures along four classification criterion: location, direction, size, and angle. We collected 36 unique bend gestures performed three times by each participant. The results suggest a strong agreement among participants for preferences of location and direction. Size and angle were difficult for users to differentiate. Finally, users performed and perceived two distinct levels of magnitude. We propose recommendations for designing bend gestures with flexible displays.

How users manipulate deformable displays as input devices
CHI '10: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis study is aimed at understanding deformation-based user gestures by observing users interacting with artificial deformable displays with various levels of flexibility. We gained user-defined gestures that would help with the design and ...
Caret Manipulation using Deformable Input in Mobile Devices
TEI '15: Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionCaret movement is difficult with touch input because of finger occlusion and the imprecision of interacting with a small display using fingers. We hypothesize that bend might provide a better text manipulation solution. We propose bend gestures to move ...
Visual Feedforward Guides for Performing Bend Gestures on Deformable Prototypes
GI '16: Proceedings of the 42nd Graphics Interface ConferenceAs a novel input techniques for deformable devices, bend gestures can prove difficult for users to perform correctly as they have many characteristics to master. In this paper, we present three bend visual guides which use feedforward and feedback ...
